Nintendo Extends Eternal Darkness Trademark

If this trademark extension is any indication, Nintendo has not abandoned the Eternal Darkness franchise just yet.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem was an innovative GameCube horror title from Silicon Knights that messed with players' heads in ways that Hideo Kojima could admire. Silicon Knights has seen some problems lately. It was forced to destroy all of its games that were built using the Unreal Engine, and pay millions of dollars in damages to Epic Games after a drawn out lawsuit. Silicon Knights' current fate is unclear, but it is unlikely that it is working on a new Eternal Darkness.

This trademark extension could mean Nintendo and a new developer are working on a new Eternal Darkness title, or it could just be Nintendo keeping its paperwork in line, so to speak.

i'm a fan of horror survival and if they release this for the 3DS i'm totally getting it... then again since i already know about its "scare tactics" by reading articles it might not have the same effect.. :/

A vastly overrated game play it again and you'll see! Not a game that is good several years down the line and you can easily see it's N64 origins. There were some good ideas in there (sanity meter was stolen from previous titles btw) they were just poorly executed.

I have no doubt that Nintendo would never ever make a sequel to it, every couple of years Nintendo extends the trademark (they're covering their asses) and people got ERMERGERNEWSEEQERL and nothing happens.
